Background:

Sodium diatrizoate is an iodinated radiocontrast agent.

Sodium diatrizoate is an iodinated radiocontrast agent. Histological examination of rat lung tissue shows no acute toxicity or inflammation after insufflation of Sodium diatrizoate nanoparticle agglomerates. Sodium diatrizoate nanoparticle agglomerates offers a promising radiocontrast agent for safe and effective lung visualization[1].
